I hope some one may be able to help us, we are with virgin for our phone etc and wondered to avoid making 0870 calls if we could use an over ride number to reduce the costs a little. I cant find an alternative number on saynoto, any help to make understanding how to do this would be much appreciated, thanks

    Apart from trying to find alternatives on www.saynoto0870.com you could sign up online for a 18185 account and use their 08081703703 freephone gateway number to call 0870 numbers for 5p connection + 3p/minute weekdays (2p/minute weekends).

    A considerable saving on Virgin's outrageous 11p connection + 10p/minute a all times!
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Thanks for your help Heinz. I will look to doing this. I really hate having to pay these premium rate (day light robbery) numbers. Tulip12
